Strategy and corporate finance

A strategy that does not survive the capital plan is a speech. We stay until the choice, the money, and the management agenda are the same document.

When clients ask

  • The portfolio has too many priorities and no rule for stopping one.
  • A big bet needs a source of funds and a story investors can test.
  • The corporate center and the businesses describe different futures.

What the work is

We work with the chief executive and the finance team on the few choices that move value: where to grow, what to exit, and how capital is allocated. The output is a direction the next operating review can actually use.
